Personal note on the rainbow extracts: Yuck they are weak and tasteless. I use extracts from http://homemadesodacompany.com They have a great selection and some of them have become household favorites.

Keep in mind if you are force carbing the co2 will take away some of the sweetness. I make my Root beer by making it uncarbed in a brew pot. I make it slightly sweeter than I want the end product, since the co2 will off set some of it. My basic starting point is about 1 cup per gallon, I then...

I use Splenda with no issues

I use a site called homemadesoda.com they have a number of great extracts 3 root beer ones, an orange soda (I add vanilla so it tastes like a dreamcicle Popsicle) sasparilla are my favs.

I use about 1 cup per gallon as a starting point for my splenda. Of course I've never measured every bit of any batch but ... it's a starting point.

Rule of thumb 1 tbs of extract per gallon. I use Splenda about 1.5 cups per gallon. Basically make it taste a little too sweet, just a bit, chill & force carb. I often add a bit of vanilla, I'd also use the white sugar, it's all preference.

I forced carbed my root beer at 20, shaking the keg vigorously a few times it took about 2 days. I then turned the co2 down to 10 for serving.
